Question

rainfall (mm)
lowlands
rainfall (mm)
when comparing the two sets of data, which is a true statement?
there are gaps in both sets of data.
the ranges are the same.
the two sets of data do not overlap.
the rainfall peaks at a lower value in the lowlands.

Explanation:

1. Check gaps: The Lowlands data has gaps (e.g., 26 mm, 30-32 mm), but the top dot plot has no visible gaps shown, so the first statement is false.
2. Check ranges: Lowlands range: $28-2=26$ mm. Top plot range: $32-2=30$ mm. Ranges are not the same, so the second statement is false.
3. Check overlap: Both datasets cover 2-28 mm, so they do overlap, making the third statement false.
4. Check peak value: Lowlands data peaks at 12 mm, while the top plot peaks at 14 mm, so the Lowlands peak is lower. This statement is true.

Answer:

The rainfall peaks at a lower value in the Lowlands.
